Let the fart jokes commence.....

Comment by Praetextus

Despite the bathroom humor this spell is going to have, its going to be the enhancement shamans opener for entering combat. Unleash Elements has a 40 yard range so using it while running in will give the shaman the 40% (talented) attack speed increase before ever reaching the target.

I can not confirm this as I did not have a chance to play on beta but I have read what I could on the subject. However, I believe it also does stack with flurry 30% and windfury totems 10%, giving the shaman a self cast 80% melee attack speed increase, given all three buffs are up. This spell is one of the reasons why I believe at level 85, attack power via agility (1 agi = 2 ap) will be stat to gem for. There is no real testing until cataclysm is live and we all trying to down tier 11 content and/or an updated version of enhsim is written. This is just pure speculation.

So far, with cataclysm release a month and a half away, I have switched from all haste gems to all agility gems. I have seen a noticeable difference between the two, given the new talents and the correlation between attack power and spell power in regards to searing totem and lava lash.

Also adding that I was correct as of the date of this edit. Agility is the stat to gem for, just edging out mastery. Haste, while having some value, is not a stat an enhancement should be specifically gearing for. If its got it, great, if not, thats ok too.
